We arrived at her sisters house early Thursday morning. Got a few hours of sleep and headed to the hospital to see him. He was transferred to the Moffitt Cancer center on the USF Campus in Tampa. His team of doctors there are more optimistic that they can get him into remission with Chemotherapy. He started that today and is responding well to the treatment so far. We are worried however that at age 74 the treatment may be rough but he wants to beat this so that is a positive.
We will be here at least through the end of next week to keep his spirit up. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Bittersweet year this year, as I lost my boyfriend this summer to an accident. Time heals all, but the memories remain. I know we are all missing those that we have had at the table or around the tree in years past. Grateful for the memories, but sad that there won't be more.

Yes, time does heal all. Memories help.
Drove over to the Saturday cruise at Pavilions today. Had two friends ride over with me, using the Impala for what it was designed to do, haul families.
Didn't stay too long, as it was COLD! 30 MPH winds made it worse.
